Antonio Drove – La caza de brujas AKA The Witch Hunt (1967)
Quote:
In The Witch Hunt a national-Catholic religious college whose mission is to train militants and future leaders of society. Their “lifestyle” is explained by the Spiritual Father: “God, by creating us, did not endow us all equally: He gave some more and others less in admirable diversity” .
The students are the privileged, chosen by God for His Glory and to perpetuate that “admirable diversity” that denies class struggle. A dark incident occurs in the toilets. The protagonists they are thirteen year old children and the ideology of the school maintains that “chastity comes from caste and we cannot allow sin to take root among us. ” The chasing
begins.
The witch hunt is the story of some interrogations, of some denunciations, of some treasons, until the Moral of the oppressors is restored. I tried to show how repression can be practiced almost without violence. The persecutors, the executioners, they didn’t need to be monsters, not even bad people. Simply a tragic event happened, with no way out: the persecuted defended themselves, but the repression It is internalized. The persecuted communed with the Morale of the persecutors, they accepted as good the Code of their enemies and, feeling guilty, their fight it could only end in self-destruction.

Quote:
The story of The Witch Hunt is about children who commit a terrible sin in the stifling environment of a religious college. The persecution to which they are subjected It would not be successful if it were not for the denunciation of an applied partner and the subsequent confessions of guilty students.
Because the real drama is the persecution and treason, but the assumption of the guilt imposed on them: As Drove himself pointed out on different occasions, what interested him was to put emphasized that when the persecuted commune with the moral of the persecutors, there is no possibility of escape. Thus, the filmmaker proposes a critical, lucid and aware of a moral irrationality (and its implications and interests) of which the protagonists, due to their age and situation, have no conscience. This auto story Repression is a reaction to the type of cinema that was taking place at the EOC (and the New Spanish Cinema in general).
